Ok, so this was actually my second attempt at editing the picture. The first time...well, it came out pretty cool..but slightly..I guess...demented? ish...I don't know..maybe a little creepy...sometimes my mind likes doing strange things to photos with photoshop and I go a little crazy...lol...So I wasn't too sure if you actually want to see that one. So I did this one for you all to see. ^^ Let me know if you want to see the demented one....cause I'll post it if teedlepeep doesn't mind. =]
1. Duplicate the layer and turn the bottom layer off to keep the original copy just in case I screw up. 2. Blur to remove wrinkles. 3. Duplicate layer and put it on color dodge with opacity at 62% 4. New layer, make it all white and put it on color and 31% opacity. 5. Another new layer, use a brush with 0% hardness to create a vignette. 6. New layer, draw some squiggles and stars and flowers with the pen tool. Add drop shadow, outer glow, and bevel. 7. Merge visible layers 8. Enlarge canvas by a little and put a all light green layer at the very bottom to create a small white boarder. 9. New layer right over the one that was just created and use the pen tool to create checkered lines with a darker green. 10. Add a bevel and drop shadow to the lines and merge the lines with the lighter background. 11. Still on that layer, use the rectanglar marquee tool to select around the picture of the main photo and then invert the selection (ctl+shift+i on a PC). Then add another bevel to that. 12. Finally, go back to the top layer and add a drop shadow, small inner shadow, and bevel. =]
